UConn Conference Championship games winning margins the past 11 years.
20/21 - 34 - BE
19/20 - 34 - AAC
18/19 - 21 - AAC
17/18 - 16 - AAC
16/17 - 56 - AAC
15/16 - 26 - AAC
14/15 - 14 - AAC
13/14 - 20 - AAC
12/13 - -2 (loss to ND) Old BE
11/12 - 9 - Old BE
10/11 - 9 - Old BE

UConn belongs in a tougher conference. Yes you can have a blow out in a championship game but nearly every year? There was nothing better than the Old BE.

UCONN Women's Basketball belongs in a tougher conference. Maybe the field hockey team also.

After the 1st Q we went into cruise control for an easy win. Defense was great. Another conference championship and on to the big dance.

Anyone have an idea of why Paige dribbled down the clock on two possessions, both resulting in shot clock violations?

2nd quarter Marquette making a little run taking the so called air out of the ball.

I'm not a Charlie Creme supporter, but his latest brackets are based on what he feels the selection committee will choose. During the season, he prepares his own bracketology, but then he adjusts it when the committee starts revealing its rankings. In many cases, Charlies vehemently disagrees with them.

Yes, but it starts with Christyn playing her tough, denying the ball whenever possible and not allowing Lott to beat her off the dribble. Add in that Christyn picked Lott clean 3 times during the game and I would have to say she had an excellent defensive game.

Yes they did, on most Marquette possessions you would see at a minimum 3 UConn players on her.

I agreed that UConn switches on D. Not sure what point you’re making?

Go back a few more years:
09/10 Old BE 28
08/09 Old BE 39 (Louisville who we played again in the NC game and beat by 22)

Uconn's average margin of victory over the last decade against ranked teams (most of them OOC games against top P5 conference teams) up through I think 2018 was something like 30 points - the average against unranked teams was 40 points.

In 2009-2010 the Old Big East tied the Big 12 for most NCAA tournament teams. Both conferences sent 7 teams to the NCAAT.

The final scores for UConn in the 2010 Big East Tournament were as follows:

Quarterfinal

UConn 71 Syracuse 41

Semifinal

UConn 59 Notre Dame 44

Final

UConn 60 West Virginia 32

Hat tip to @MilfordHusky for these scores.

Which of those teams is still in the Big East, not including UCONN

After the first quarter, the game was over. Hopefully, that's the reason for the sputtering the rest of the way. Great to see the team celebrating and messing up Geno's hair.

Of course it would be great if they were in the ACC but they wouldn't let them in. Not a chance. And for more reasons than women's basketball. Let the rest of the Big East get better. It happened before and it can happen again.

If Marquette is the 20th best team in the Country, the women's game is in worse shape than ever.

South Dakota State has been in the top 25 all year. I'd bet big money on Marquette pounding them into the hardwood. And you can also bet they would at the very least give many of the top 25 a much much closer game than they gave UCONN tonight. DUFFY knows what she's doing. They are going to get better.
 
As I watched the post-game celebration and all the smiling faces, it made me certain that all of these players, including our injured walk-on, were very glad they chose to come to UCONN to play basketball, even if they are 1000s of miles away from home. This will be among their greatest lifetime memories. They sure all seem to get along unbelievably and this probably goes back to the COVID pods they were assigned to and the Mom's of each pod. As bad as COVID has been on just about everything, I think it probably made this team closer than they would have ever been in normal times. What a fun group to watch!

Congrats ladies and coaches and thanks for providing so many of us so much enjoyment! Now let's get #12 !

It isn’t. Big East should be called the Big Easy.

My how soon they forget. In the old BE UConn won 70 and 90 straight games and often went undefeated in conference play. The old BE was arguably the best women's basketball league for several years during the DT years and beyond until it broke up. If Geno continues to schedule as he does, UConn will still get battle tested regardless of the conference affiliation.

Just thought I would throw up Uconn all time records against the various conferences - this does not include this year but includes all the history from before Uconn was Uconn and before Geno. A lot of the losses date to pre 2000:

ACC - .800 64-16 - UNC at 5-7 against mostly pre 2000, Virgina 2-5, NC St 2-6 most pre 2000, and Duke 3-12 (Alana Beard years) are the only teams with more than 1 win against Uconn. The rest (includes Louisville and ND) 4-34 or .105

Big12 - .846 33-6 - Baylor 4-4 the rest 2-29 or .064

Big10 - .826 38-8 - Iowa 3-4, Penn State 3-9 the rest 2-25 or .074

Pac10/12 .778 35-10 - Stanford 7-11, the rest 3-24 or .111

SEC .767 56-17 - TN 9-14 the rest of the SEC 8-42 or .160 (Vandy at 2-6. LSU and SC at 1-8)

Let it go! It's a song. Learn it. UConn is in the BE and they ain't leaving it.

Instructions from the bench for game management. It was late in the half and things had gotten a little helter skelter, so we settled it down to make sure we didn’t let Marquette get many more possessions to get much closer before halftime.

They were gassed. Marquette looked to be in great shape, and could run with us.
